Three dead in New Hampshire I-93 crash

The SUV’s driver and two passengers were pronounced dead at the scene of the single-car crash, police said.

Three people were killed Sunday afternoon in a single-vehicle crash on an Interstate 93 off-ramp in Salem, New Hampshire, officials said.

Troopers responded to a reported crash on the Exit 2 off-ramp just after 2 p.m., New Hampshire State Police said in a news release. A preliminary investigation determined a 2012 white Kia Sportage was traveling south on the off-ramp when it veered off the road, traveled through a grassy area, and struck a culvert, according to police.  

The SUV’s driver, 71-year-old Rodney J. Dore, of Pelham, and two passengers — Anne J. Dore, 70, of Pelham, and Lisana M. Alexander, 45, of Salem — were pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

New Hampshire State Police encouraged anyone with information that could help the investigation to contact Trooper Mark Lingerman at 603-223-4381 or [email protected].
